Hunting (House)
episode of House (S2 E7)
"Hunting" is the seventh episode of the second season of House, and twenty-ninth overall. It premiered on Fox on November 22, 2005, and was written by Liz Friedman and directed by Gloria Muzio. House is confronted by a homosexual man who demands treatment when other doctors diagnose him with AIDS, something he admits he does have. House begins making moves on Stacy using sensitive information on her relationship with Mark.
Plot
Wilson picks up House while they discuss House's theft of Stacy's treatment notes. Wilson is not pleased, particularly when he finds out Stacy and Mark are not having sex despite his recovered status. As they head out they run into a "stalker", Kalvin Ryan, who wants House to treat him. House quickly concludes his health problems stem from AIDS, but Kalvin claims that tests show that AIDS is not causing the new symptoms. After a brief struggle, Kalvin passes out into anaphylactic shock.
Cuddy insists House meets with Stacy in case Kalvin files a lawsuit, and they spar at Stacy's house as she reveals she saw a rat in her house.

Why this record matters
“Hunting (House)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Hunting, House and episode provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5141174. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
